5 Discoveries Parker Solar Probe Made (and HEARD) on the Sun

There are 5 major discoveries the Parker Solar Probe made on the Sun. Parker's discoveries include evidence for a dust-free zone around the Sun, hearing the sounds of the solar wind and dust particles, magnetic switchbacks, and small-scale flares and space weather. Parker Solar Probe even discovered the debris trail of the asteroid Phaethon that produces the Geminid meteor shower every December, and made detailed images of comet NEOWISE.
